El seguimiento del proceso de extinción de los glaciares del Pirineo español por el Programa ERHIN (1982-2025) / Monitoring the process of glacier extinction in the Spanish Pyrenees by the ERHIN Program (1982-2025)

Guillermo Cobos — 2025-10-31

Since 1973, we have been systematically studying active Pyrenean glaciers in the Spanish side. Those researchers would first establish the Spanish Institute of Glaciology (1978) and later the Program for the Study of Water and Snow Resources in High Mountain Snowfall (1982). From then on, this Program has monitored these glaciers, continuously applying the necessary methods in collaboration with international institutions. The Maladeta Glacier was chosen as a pilot research site. This monitoring has provided concrete data on the continued retreat of Pyrenean ice, and has allowed to observe the extinction of several glaciers and confirm the current deterioration of the remaining ones.

Aprendiendo a gestionar el riesgo. Enseñanza de los peligros naturales en el aula / Learning to manage risk. Teaching natural hazards in the classroom

Learning to manage risk. Teaching natural hazards in the classroom. The impact of the 2024 cut-off low in Valencia (Spain) has highlighted, among other issues, the need for greater education on natural hazards. In response to this situation, this paper presents a didactic experience carried out in a school in the city of Alicante (Spain) with sixth-grade Primary Education students (2024–2025). Over the course of 12 sessions in the subject “Knowledge of the Natural, Social and Cultural Environment”, different hazards were addressed — atmospheric, geological, and biological — through practical activities such as drills, field trips, debates, and digital murals. The objective was to promote understanding of these natural hazards by linking them to climate change and human activity. This experience, which concluded with an Escape Room, allowed students to apply the learnt contents with very positive results: the majority achieved excellent grades and showed increased awareness and preparedness in the face of such risks, reinforcing their competencies and commitment to build a resilient society.

Análisis de la estructura social urbana en el Área Metropolitana de Málaga/ Marbella: una aproximación desde la ecología factorial / Analysis of the urban social structure in the Málaga/Marbella metropolitan area: insights from factorial ecology

Analysis of the urban social structure in the Málaga/Marbella metropolitan area: insights from factorial ecology. The renewed availability of intra-urban census data (limited since the 2011 Population and Housing Census), alongside the recent access to income data at a comparable spatial scale, creates favorable conditions for the revival of research grounded in factorial ecology. These developments offer the potential to reassess urban spatial structures through robust, multidimensional analyses. To illustrate this opportunity, we examine the Málaga/Marbella Metropolitan Area, a dynamic and polycentric region in which urban expansion cannot be solely attributed to population and activity overflow from the core city of Málaga. In this context, tourism —an exogenous and highly influential factor— has played a key role in shaping urban development, particularly outside the capital’s immediate sphere. Using a combination of factor analysis and cluster analysis on eight selected variables, we identify three principal components underlying the spatial distribution of the population. The spatial configuration of the resulting clusters is consistent with existing empirical knowledge: the two most significant clusters correspond, on the one hand, to the natural area of expansion of the metropolitan core, and on the other hand, to urban spaces that have emerged predominantly as a result of tourism-driven development. The prospects for advancing this line of inquiry are promising. However, we emphasise the need for a degree of standardisation in the selection and use of variables. Such homogenisation would be essential for enhancing the comparability of studies conducted across different urban contexts.
